FaceTite

FaceTite & Morpheus8 skin tightening provides a powerful lifting effect to the lower face and jawline and also the neck area without any traditional surgical incisions associated with a facelift. Although it does not produce the results of a full facelift, FaceTite is an excellent treatment option that can deliver consistently impressive results that far exceed what you can achieve with non-invasive facial rejuvenation methods such as Ultherapy. FaceTite is offered at our London clinic at 106 Crawford Street in Marylebone.

All our surgeons are on the GMC specialist register. Our London clinic at 106 Crawford Street was recently inspected and rated as good across all 5 domains.

Trust a facial plastic surgeon

A facial plastic surgeon is trained to undertake aesthetic surgical procedures in the facial region. They are dedicated sub-specialists in all aspects of cosmetic surgery of the face. Compared with general plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons are inherently better trained to perform delicate facial procedures. The extra years of surgical training by facial specialists focused on the facial region results in an exceptionally high degree of skill.

Case 1:

This patient is just four weeks after FaceTite radiofrequency  treatment under local anaesthesia. At such an early stage of healing, there is a significant change in the tone and tightness of the jaw border and neck. The treated areas will continue to tighten and improve over a 6 month period.

Case 2:

Case 3:

Case 4:

]

Case 5:

FaceTite improves skin laxity in the face and neck through the use of radiofrequency energy. This involves inserting a fine handheld device beneath the skin, which emits heat, lifting the skin on the face. FaceTite is able to treat numerous areas of the face, including the double chin, jowls and any area of the face where there are fine lines and wrinkles. You may wish to combine FaceTite with liposuction, which will allow excess fat to be removed from beneath the chin. While this is a minimally invasive procedure, it is able to achieve results similar to more invasive cosmetic surgeries.

Benefits of FaceTite:

• Outpatient local anaesthetic procedure with no requirement for general anaesthesia
• Minimally invasive skin tightening with superior results to Ultherapy, Thermage and other non-invasive skin tightening treatments
• Achieve surgery-like results without the incisions or scars of traditional surgery

So glad I went with centre for surgery, the whole process went very smoothly from the consultations down to the actual day of the procedure. I was so nervous on the day but the whole team put me at ease and I’m happy with my results as I feel a lot more comfortable wearing certain clothes now. My surgeon was Alberto Di Giuseppe who performed a breast Augmentation on me, and I would definitely recommend as he was very clear on what the outcome of the surgery would be and which size would look the best for my frame.

This was overall a great experience, all the staff at Centre for Surgery were friendly and put me at ease. It is a nerve wracking thing to go through an op but the staff were so nice. Mr Ertan has got a great team around him. On the day of the operation everything went smoothly to plan, there was no delay or holdups, I had another consultation with Mr Ertan who confirmed what was going to be done and that I was still happy to proceed. I was prepped for the procedure, I met with the anaesthetist who again was really nice and put me at ease explaining his role. After the procedure I woke up with the nurse by my side making sure I was OK and checking on me, I was able to stay in the clinic until I was ready to leave and was not rushed at all. I was well looked after from the start to the point when I was discharged. Post operation I was staying at a local hotel it was so close there was no point in even getting a taxi and I was able to walk back where my partner was waiting for me. I was expecting a lot of bruising to both my eyes but there was very little if any by the time the cast came off after 7 days, I am now at the two week post operation point and it is healing well with no outwardly visible bruising or scaring. The next milestone is a checkup at the 6 week point with my surgeon. If you're thinking of having something like this done I would highly recommend getting in touch with Centre for Surgery.

I would just like to state the quality of care received from the nurses at Centre for Surgery was beyond the highest level. Sophie takes her patient care to another level beyond words. She always puts me at ease. She is there for me even at awkward hours just when I mostly needed reassurance and she is one of the most compassionate nurses I have come across and demonstrates her passion naturally for caring for others. She totally deserves recognition at its finest and thank you for always being there for me. 😍

• Significant experience in FaceTite – our surgeons also combine Facetite with mini facelift as appropriate
• We own and manage our own surgical facilities. Properly performed FaceTite takes time and should not be rushed. Our surgeons perform a maximum of two FaceTite procedures in a day. We do not cram 5-6 procedures into one day like other providers. You want your surgeon to be well-rested and mentally and physically sharp to perform FaceTite which is a very demanding procedure to get the very best results.

Our clinic at 106 Crawford Street was recently inspected and rated as good across all 5 domains.

• Our surgeons live and work in London. We don’t work with ‘fly-in, fly-out’ surgeons from Italy. This is very important because whilst your surgeon takes all precautions to minimise complications, complications can and do occur and our surgeons are readily available to manage any issues if and when they arise.

You will be a suitable candidate for this procedure if you are unhappy with the skin laxity on your jaw border and neck which is mild to moderate in nature and are wishing to have it tightened.

Patients who are in their 30s or early 40s and who have relatively mild aging changes in the lower face and neck may be better treated with Fotona 4D or TightSculpting which is a non-invasive laser treatment. Our practitioners have worked with the full range of devices and have found the Fotona laser platform to be excellent for effective non invasive facial rejuvenation. Fotona 4D and / or Tightsculpting is also ideal as a maintenance treatment after either a facelift or the FaceTite procedure.

For patients with moderate to severe skin laxity and with a significant loss of tone and elasticity in the lower face and neck, the best option would be full face and neck lift to address the significant aging effects. Our surgeons also offer short scar facelifts or mini facelifts under local anaesthesia at our London clinic. More extensive facelift surgery is performed under TIVA general anaesthesia at our day case facility.

In between these two ends of the treatment spectrum lies the ideal patients for FaceTite.

Prior to undergoing this procedure, you will be required to attend a consultation with one of our surgeons. They will be able to assess your face and neck and decide if you are a suitable candidate or whether you would be better suited for another procedure such as a facelift.

Morpheus8 is the most exciting development in fractional radiofrequency microneedling. The Morpheus8 device is the latest generation of fractional RF microneedling with full control over needle depth adjustment and the level of energy delivered through the 24 precision microneedles. The FaceTite procedure is performed first for ‘inside-out’ skin tightening followed by the application of Morpheus8 for ‘outside-in’ skin tightening creating an impressive ‘thermal sandwich effect’.

The tiny pins of the morpheus8 device are able to penetrate deep enough into the skin to impart controlled thermal energy via the micropins to induce contraction of collagen and elastin. The Morpheus8 procedure does not require any incisions and there is no need for sutures. The procedure can be performed effectively with the prior application of topical local anaesthetic cream to permit a pain-free procedure.

On the day of your procedure you will be given oral sedation medication that will help you relax during the FaceTite treatment. The surgeon will precisely mark the treatment zones on your face. Next, the surgeon introduces a local anesthetic to the area where energy will be applied. This is done in a way that minimises discomfort. FaceTite is performed as a day procedure, so you will not need to stay overnight in the clinic. 

The area being treated will be numb, so you will be unable to feel any pain or discomfort. Once the area is numbed, small incisions will be made under the chin and on either side of the face. The FaceTite device is then inserted beneath the skin. While this is occurring, you may feel some tugging and hear some ‘popping’ sounds, which is completely normal. This means the subcutaneous tissue is being heated. This will be undertaken on both sides of the face, as well as three areas of the chin. Once each area has been complete, liposuction may be undertaken to remove any excess fat and help to give extra definition to the jaw.

You can also combine FaceTite with Morpheus8, which is a minimally invasive skin tightening treatment which imparts thermal energy from ‘outside to inside’ resulting in a thermal sandwich effect when combined with FaceTite. 

The excellent treatment efficacy of FaceTite can be explained by the design of the FaceTite cannula. The two probes are connected to a hand piece. One probe is inserted beneath the skin during the procedure adn the other probe lies outside the skin and glides on the skin surface helped by special conductive jelly. The surgeon brings the two ends together during treatment much like pinching together a pair of chopsticks. The bipolar radio frequency energy flows between the two probes as the cannulas is gently moved back and forth under the skin. Energy is accurate localised between the two probes to prevent inadvertent injury to nearby structures.

The FaceTite design is such that the surgeon can select a higher amount of energy to be safely delivered to the areas to be targeted as the system has numerous temperature sensors built in. This allows FaceTite to exceed the degree of tissue tightening compared with other systems available. The radiofrequency energy applied to the tissues has two key effects. Firstly the energy leads to a direct tightening of the dermal layer of the skin through the process of subdermal coagulation.  Secondly FaceTite leads to a stimulation of the cells which produce core structural components of the skin including collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. These substances confer youthfulness and firmness to the skin.

Following the procedure, it is normal to experience swelling, which may last for one week. During this period you may also experience tenderness in the neck. You may feel some numbness in the treated areas. This can often last for a few months. You may need to take two to five days off work. This timeframe will vary depending on the type of employment you undertake and how well you are responding during the recovery period. You will need to wear a compression garment for the first 48 hours following the FaceTite procedure. This will not only help to reduce swelling but will give extra support to the face and the neck. During the first 48 hours, you should avoid vigorous physical activities. You should also avoid wearing makeup while the compression garment is still on. You may notice some results straight away, however, over time the skin will continue to restrict and results will improve. Results will become more obvious after four months. Some people will notice an improvement in results for up to 18 months.

As with all cosmetic surgery procedures, there are risks and potential complications. FaceTite is no different. By choosing Centre for Surgery, you can be assured of having a highly experienced surgeon to carry out your procedure. You must make sure to follow the detailed preoperative and postoperative instructions to reduce the risk of any complications occurring. FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure with a more favourable risk profile compared with traditional facelift surgery.

There are a number of factors which will determine the overall cost of the FaceTite RF procedure and the final quotation will be given after your face to face consultation with your specialist plastic surgeon.
